Pennsylvania
Is it really? Why NJ is much better than Pennsylvania
It’s the modern-day battle across the Delaware River. Are you team Jersey, or team Pennsylvania?
Of course, today’s battles are all in good fun. In reality, it doesn’t really matter which state you live in.
Both have their pros, and both have their cons. And, depending on which one you live in, you might have differing opinions on which state you believe is actually better.

Now, with that said, Let’s talk about New Jersey for a moment. Are we really that much better than Pennsylvania? Some would say, yes, we are (don’t worry, PA, you’ll get your rebuttal afterward).
New Jersey (NJ) / Not Pennsylvania (PA)
Before we get into it, we should say this. Our part of the country, Pennsylvania included, has such an incredible quality of life when compared to other parts of the country.
For example, you certainly won’t find it as good in, say, Alabama, then you would in our neck of the woods (sorry to all of those who like Alabama). Our region is simply the best in many ways.
OK, now with that out of the way, let’s get into it. Why is New Jersey so much better than Pennsylvania? Let’s have a friendly debate.
NJ vs PA (New Jersey versus Pennsylvania)
And whether you’re team NJ or team PA, please feel free to leave a comment supporting which state you feel is superior over the other. And yes, sarcasm is also welcomed, as you’ll see below.

The above post reflects the thoughts and observations of New Jersey 101.5 Sunday morning host Mike Brant. Any opinions expressed are his own.
A man in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, is accused of vandalizing several pickleball courts after suffering an injury that “ruined” his summer, police said.
Saif Kaleem of Tannersville is facing charges of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and trespassing after the vandalism at TLC and Mountain View parks, the Pocono Township Police Department said in a news release over the weekend.
Authorities said Kaleem was captured on video cutting a net at TLC Park on May 12 before leaving the scene in a white Hyundai Tucson. On May 14, police said the same vehicle was spotted on video entering Mountain View Park after it closed. He got out of the vehicle and went to the pickleball court, police said in the news release. A snapshot of the video obtained by police showed Kaleem using crutches to get around.
“Pocono Township Community members informed the PTPD that the pictured male had been seen at TLC Park on multiple occasion prior to the incident,” police’s news release said.
Kaleem, according to police, matched the description of the person in the video footage, and investigators went to his home to interview him. Police said he admitted to suffering “a recent pickleball injury” at Mountain View Park. The exact injury was not released by law enforcement.
The 31-year-old man then allegedly confessed to cutting the pickleball net at TLC Park and three pickleball nets at Mountain View Park, as well as the tennis court net at Mountain View Park, due to his “summer being ruined.”
The body of a 27-year-old man was found in a pond in Lynn Township, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night.
The Lehigh County Coroner’s Office said the man was found submerged on a property along the 8500 block of Allemaengel Road around 6 p.m.
The 27-year-old from Emmaus, whose name is not being released to give his family time “to mourn and grieve this tragic loss privately,” according to the coroner, was pulled from the water and pronounced dead at the scene.
An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday to determine the cause and manner of death.
“I extend my heartfelt condolences to the decedent’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time,” Lehigh County Coroner Daniel Buglio, D-ABMDI, said in a statement Sunday.
The Pennsylvania State Police Fogelsville Station is also investigating the death.
